I hadn't considered a "make dist" for copying around a locally "fixed" version. Certainly, one cannot really maintain a package for which they are unable to build all parts. A reasonable approach hinted at by Alexandre might be to simply go ahead and make the distribution, but using rules I wouldn't use to produce a release. I think I would alter it so that "make dist" produced a non-release version stamp and a "make release" would produce a release version stamp, but be disabled when all functional parts are not being built. I've printed out his comments & will cogitate a bit on how to do this. Thanks to you all! Regards, Bruce
